HAMILTON, Va. — Authorities in Virginia say a volunteer firefighter is accused of taking a firetruck on a drunken joyride and nearly smashing into a deputy’s patrol car.
The Loudoun County sheriff’s office said 27-year-old Sean Richard Swanson, a volunteer firefighter in Hamilton, was speeding down a road early Saturday morning in the firetruck. The sheriff’s office said four other volunteer firefighters who also had been drinking were in the truck with Swanson.
The release said a deputy had to veer into a ditch to avoid hitting the truck. The deputy turned around and pulled over the truck.
